November 11th is an important day.
We remember the Veterans, everyone who has bled, served or died for our country and freedom.
So it's a big deal.
As there are plenty of people who have gone above and beyond for our country.

Is Google Making us Stupid?
Or Wikipedia?
More importantly is effortless access to information hurting us?
Does my ability to resolve my curiosity instantly, makes me worse off?
The Internet is special, it is special because it allows for the cheap transfer of information.
There is rarely a quality control on this information, some places are better and some just terrible. So now instead of being rewarded for how well we can memorize other people's ideas, we are rewarded for being able to find new information quickly.
Original thought will still be the secret to actual rewards.
More thoughts later.

Marketing on the Internet
What is marketing on the internet?
Well for $550 Laurentian University will tell you.
All you need to do is make it through 4 semesters of University and then pay your money and you can find out.
So in exchange for $500 plus 12k or so in tuition I will let you all know.
But done worry I'll use the money for the car in the post below.
So internet marketing is the post below.
I take VISA, Mastercard, and Cash.
Hand it over, you all owe me.
Or not.
Stupid Marketing on the Internet class.

Second Chances
We live in a world where the first impression is king.
When a second chance it extended it is like a golden ticket.
Really there are only five.
No I'm serious, a second chance is that rare.
That's why everyone who gets one ends up succeeding.
Well not everyone.
Some people fail.
Dramatically, twice.
They suck.

Back in the B dot.
Well on September first I moved back to Barrie for School.
Like all moves it was hectic and busy but in the 96 hours since I've left I've been back to Ottawa once, bought beer twice, bought groceries once and ordered two kegs for the second half of the month.
An insightful reader will nottice that there was no mention of school in that list.
I skipped, I'm not really an attendance kind of guy, I'm more of a figure it out myself and show for the tests and to hand in assignments. I don't know why I work best that way but for the past two years thats how it's been done.
Maybe I'm just preparing myself for grad school, since most post-grad schools seem to work on a DIY system.
I hope it all works out.
I'll post later about funner things, like HW and booty.

Holy fuck, an update.
The "Holy" in the subject was almost a typo, it was almost "Hold" which I almost left as the subject.
After all it would be funny, or sad, if someone stopped just to read this.
And if you did I am laughing at you.
But only because I'm a jerk.
Well not quite but sort of.
So back on topic, school starts in 11 or so days, I move back to Barrie in 10 or so days, and I'll be so busy it is going to be ridiculous.
I have to move all of my clothes, my computers, school supplies and my kegerator back into town.
I know I have a kegerator and to brag it is awesome and I am bringing it to school with me.
This year will be bad.
Like really really bad.
I wonder if I can get 18% beer in a keg...
... like I said a bad year.
On the same topic if you know anyone who has a space liver lying around I'll be needing one around Christmas.
I think I'm out of news and topics.
So till later...
